This week at the Global Design Project blog we are kicking off the month with a great new color challenge.
When I see this color combo I typically think of Valentine's Day or modern Christmas colors. I doubt that I would have chosen these colors for an everyday card, so I was surprised to fall completely head-over-heels in love with the way this card turned out.
I knew I would enjoy using the Fine Art Floral Suite from the very first moment I saw it, but the Art Gallery stamp set (#154421) and coordinating dies have captured my heart. I have always been a big fan of multi-step stamping, and this is the prettiest set I have seen in a long while. I love the bright and cheery vibe that this card exudes, so I decided to pair it with a "get well soon" sentiment from Healing Hugs (#148223).
I think the process on this card is fairly obvious, but just in case it isn't clear, I started with a Bermuda Bay top-folding card base, added a strip of Real Red Cardstock, and then stamped the greeting onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I also added some background splatters using a Blushing Bride Stampin' Write Marker.
I stamped the smaller floral arrangements three times with Bermuda Bay ink and then three more times with Petal Pink ink. Next, I added some Real Red accents using the smaller coordinating stamp from the set. I trimmed the pink flowers and placed them on top of the Bermuda Bay foliage. I used a similar process for the larger flower. I placed two of the larger flowers together to make an even larger bloom. Finally, I colored some clear rhinestones with a Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends marker and added them to the layout.
I hope you are inspired to give this color combination a try. Be sure to check out what the other talented designers/players have created for this great color challenge at the Global Design Project Challenge Blog.
